CALL FOR PAPERS


The 49th International Symposium ELMAR-2007 focused on Mobile 
Multimedia will be held in the beautiful old town Zadar on the 
Croatian Adriatic coast. While the scientific program is expected 
to create stimulating professional interaction, the crystal clear 
Adriatic Sea, warm summer atmosphere and wealth of historic 
monuments promise a pleasant and memorable stay. The aim of the 
symposium is to promote the interface of researchers working in 
multimedia and mobile networking fields to study new solutions 
and applications. Besides, ELMAR symposia traditionally invites 
original contributions from navigation systems, marine 
electronics, and related areas. The scientific program includes 
keynote talks by eminent international experts and contributed 
papers. Papers accepted by two independent reviewers will be 
published in symposium proceedings available at the symposium and 
abstracted in the INSPEC and IEEExplore database. ELMAR-2007 
symposium is sponsored by the Croatian Society Electronics in 
Marine (ELMAR), technically co-sponsored * by IEEE Signal 
Processing Society, IEEE Region 8 and IEEE Croatia Section, and 
organized in cooperation with EURASIP (European Association for 
Signal, Speech and Image Processing).
